Wemby is just tall. He isn't better than a first overall at regular height, he just has that height advantage.

Look at Steph Curry, what body attribute gives him advantage over anyone else?


Shaq was just tall and strong. He couldn't shoot. He wasn't better than another first overall at regular forward size, he just has that physical advantage.


Shawn Bradley was just tall! And I always respected for him for his willingness to get posterized over and over.

I have no idea if he wants to keep playing next season (he's played a grand total of 69 minutes this season), but if he's thinking about retirement, I'd love for the Raps to offer him a spot on the coaching staff.


he has the sweetest gig in the world. gets paid 3 million to chill, be himself, get fulfillment through mentorship, and have fun on the bench with young cool kids. he should be back if he gets offered a contract.


I get what you mean but the guy definitely doesn’t just chill. It takes a lot of work to be an NBA-ready athlete, even if it’s just for practices or garbage time

not denying that. but he does chill on the bench because he doesn't play lol even being on a NBA team as a low paid vet you get access to premium amenities and keeping fit and ready to go is a boon for his physical and mental health.

Temple is clearly a smart guy. Setting himself up for the next stage of his career - whether it be coaching or FO activity.
